Chocolate Rum Balls

Another one of my favourite deserts, is like having a Rum shot with every piece… hmmm, maybe that’s why I like them so much. Still, make sure you don’t drive or operate heavy machinery while under the influence of my Rum balls ;).

This is by far the easiest recipe, ever. I mean, if you don’t feel adventurous you can use the super moist chocolate mix that you can find in any grocery store. The thing is so easy to make that you will get two cakes ready in no time, just read the instructions on the box :p.

Let the cake cool off completely, then crumble it in a big bowl (easy enough).

Add all your other ingredients onto the crumbled cake and do some serious mixing. Add the Rum as well, about ¼ cup or… you can go nuts if desired ;).

Use your hands until it becomes of nice smooth consistency. Roll the Rum balls as big as you want them and throw them inside a bowl in which you already have the fine shredded coconut.

When you finished your composition you can start eating them. Heck you can eat as you roll them too, that’s what I did but at some point I couldn’t make them round anymore :).

Hi,
1. I usually keep them in plastic containers, in the fridge.
2. I have no idea, we eat them pretty fast around here… two days tops :).
However, given the necessary time to make these little things happen, I say just make them when you need them.

Rum is needed to moisten the cake so you can roll it into balls so no, you cannot. You need a specific quantity for that and flavoring might not be enough, besides it is way more stronger than regular rum.
